New Market Poultry Farms, Inc., a Corporation of the State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. John C. Fellows…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court’s summary‑judgment dismissal, holding that the statute of limitations in a professional‑negligence survey error case begins when the plaintiff discovers or has reason to know of the injury, not when the negligent act occurred. Accordingly, the motion for summary judgment was improper and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
